The Niger Delta Power Holding Company has completed a comprehensive insurance risk engineering survey at the Omotosho Power Station as part of ongoing measures to strengthen operational safety, improve asset reliability, and enhance electricity generation under the National Integrated Power Project.
The exercise, which formed part of the company’s nationwide technical and risk assessment programme, involved detailed inspection and evaluation of critical generation infrastructure, operational systems, and safety protocols at the facility. The assessment was designed to identify potential operational vulnerabilities, guide preventive maintenance planning, and support long-term asset preservation in line with global power plant management standards.
Industry officials said the survey represents a proactive step by the company to safeguard major generation assets while ensuring sustained performance and improved contribution to the national grid. The Omotosho power plant remains one of the key generation stations developed under the National Integrated Power Project to support Nigeria’s electricity supply network.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the company, Jennifer Adighije, has continued to drive technical reforms aimed at restoring idle capacity and improving operational efficiency across NIPP power plants since assuming office. Her administration has prioritised comprehensive technical audits, structured maintenance programmes, and institutional reforms designed to optimise generation assets and strengthen electricity supply reliability.
Under her leadership, the company has intensified efforts to revive underperforming plants, enhance internal operational standards, and improve coordination with key stakeholders in the power sector to address longstanding technical and structural constraints affecting power generation and delivery. The current management has also focused on strengthening asset protection frameworks and implementing preventive risk management strategies across generation facilities.
The Niger Delta Power Holding Company was established by the Federal Government to manage the National Integrated Power Project, a strategic intervention initiative aimed at expanding electricity generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure to address Nigeria’s longstanding power supply challenges and support economic growth.
